Discover & Explore Hythe
Hythe is one of the original Cinque Ports, a picturesque coastal town where medieval history meets the tranquil beauty of the English Channel. As you travel from Ashford, you'll discover a destination that offers a more refined pace of life. At the heart of the town lies the Royal Military Canal, a stunning feat of Napoleonic-era engineering that now provides a peaceful backdrop for rowing, walking, and the famous Venetian Fete.
The town is a haven for heritage lovers and families alike. You can board the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway—the world's smallest public railway—for a scenic journey across the Romney Marsh. For those seeking luxury, the Hythe Imperial Hotel offers Victorian grandeur and the tallest Moët & Chandon bar in Europe. If you prefer independent charm, the High Street is filled with boutique shops and artisan eateries, while the ancient crypt of St Leonard's Church houses a fascinating and rare ossuary.
Our Ashford to Hythe taxi service is perfectly positioned to serve the town's most popular venues. We provide seamless transfers to the Port Lympne Safari Park for a day of adventure, or to the stunning Saltwood Castle for exclusive events. Our drivers are experts at navigating the town's narrow "Pellet" lanes and coastal roads, ensuring that whether you are heading to a wedding at Hayne House or a sea-front dinner, your arrival is punctual and stress-free.
From the shingle beaches of Fisherman's Beach to the historic heights of the hillside, Hythe offers a unique blend of coastal serenity and rich heritage. By choosing a professional transfer from Ashford Premier Taxis, you bypass the limitations of local bus routes and the difficulty of seaside parking, leaving you more time to enjoy the fresh sea air and the timeless beauty of this iconic Kentish port.
